Description

Frequently asked questions
What does 4/3 mean?
It's the neoprene thickness in millimetres: 4 mm on the torso, where retaining heat matters most, and 3 mm on the arms and legs, so you can move more freely.
What water temperature is it designed for?
ION rates it for cool water, from 10 to 18 °C. How it feels also depends on the wind, how long you spend in the water and how much you feel the cold.
How do I get the size right?
Go by the height and weight in the chart. It's not a good idea to buy it several sizes too big so it lasts longer: water would get in and it would keep them much less warm.
